FOUR PACKS WILL CONTINUE TO GRATUITOUSLY POST SCIENTIFIC STUDIES THAT MAKES THE SITE LOOK SMART AND SOPHISTICATED…PHYSICAL EXERCISE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND CONTINUES TO BE 20% OF “IDEAL SHAPE”, WITH A HEALTHY DIET UNDER 2,000 CALORIES REMAINING 80% OF THE EQUATION….

Study Question: Telomere erosion is a central component of aging, and telomere-associated proteins regulate cellular senescence and survival. What are the effects of exercising on vascular telomere biology and endothelial apoptosis in mice, and what are the effects of long-term endurance training on telomere biology in humans?

Methods: C57/Bl6 mice were randomized to voluntary running or no running wheel conditions for 3 weeks. Exercise telomerase activity was evaluated in the thoracic aorta and in circulating mononuclear cells and compared with sedentary controls. Telomere biology in circulating leukocytes of young and middle-aged track and field athletes was analyzed and compared to untrained individuals.
